- Use cardstock: Printing on thicker paper will make the owl pieces sturdier, especially if your pumpkin will be displayed outside.
- Laminate the pieces: If you want to reuse the pieces, laminate them before cutting to make them last longer.
- Pre-cut for younger kids: If you’re crafting with preschoolers, consider cutting the pieces out ahead of time to make it easier.
- Play with colors: Encourage kids to use different colors or materials like fabric or felt for a textured owl!
